WikipediaFS

Warning! WikipediaFS is
currently unmaintained. We are looking for a new maintainer to take over the
development of the project. If you are interested, please tell us on the
project's mailing-list.

WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that allows to read
and edit articles from Wikipedia (or
any Mediawiki-based
site) as if they were real files.

It is thus possible to view and edit articles using your favourite
text-editor. Text-editors tend to be more convenient than a simple
browser form when it comes to editing large texts and they generally include
useful features such as Mediawiki syntax highlighting and spell checking.

Advance usage of WikipediaFS includes easy development of
scripts and bots. Programs simply have to deal with normal files
because this is WikipediaFS which takes care of the HTTP layer. For example, it
would be possible to use WikipediaFS to perform a massive content migration from
an existing site to a Mediawiki.
